My husband had complete prostate removal surgery 5-05 and has the usual problems associated with that but has another side effect his Dr's. wont even discuss.
His legs became very weak right after surgery and remain so, After asking other men (3) who have had the same surgery and them experiencing the same symptoms why wont the medical community discuss this? Any ideas?
By the way….He had to use the VA Health Care System and his cancer came from service in Vietnam.
Ref. 1 discussed complication of leg weakness after perineal prostatectomy surgery. your husband most likely had retropubic type of surgery (from pubic area rather than between scrotum and anus).
Another possibility is if the cancer spread to the bone where the spinal cord could be affected, then leg weakness could happen (ref. 2).
The third reference talked about complication of surgery which it did not sound like your husband had it.
It is interesting because I was not aware of the association between Vietnam War and increased incidence of prostate cancer. but I found ref. 3!
However, the last reference reminds us that there are other factors related to prostate cancer. People who did not fight and are not fighting in Vietnam or not exposed to agent Orange can also develop prostate cancer.
Best of luck and great thanks and appreciation to your husband, you and the family for serving the country.
